What the study found

Who was studied 1,004 European ancestry individuals; replicated in 339 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.38 higher (95% confidence interval 0.26-0.51); p = 2 × 10−9.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 89% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 5, band 5q14.1 — in an intron of DMGDH.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Metabolite levels. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Metabolite levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Metabolite levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs17823642

What is rs17823642?

rs17823642 is a single position in the genome, in or near the BHMT2 gene. Published research associates it with metabolite levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs17823642 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Blood Metabolite Levels. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

What do people read about alongside rs17823642?

Subjects that appear in the title or abstract of the same papers as this rsID include blood sugar and insulin (1 papers). A shared paper means somebody wrote about the two together; it is not a claim that this position explains the topic.

Does having rs17823642 mean I will get this?

No. Common variants like this one move a probability slightly and, on their own, rarely decide anything about one person. Nothing on this page is a diagnosis, and health decisions should be made with a clinician who can see your whole picture.

Where does the information about rs17823642 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Diabetes 2013, PMID:23378610. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
